Use of «Lokus» as a part of a mobile vacuum system of wounds treatment

The results of treatment of wounds of various aetiologies with a method of vacuum therapy with urethane-foam as a drainage material are given. Medical blanket «Lokus» is notable for the method of application, as opposed to conventional polyurethane materials: «Lokus» applied to the wound in a semiliquid state reduplicating its relief and contour. Polymerization occurs within a few minutes after applying; the result of polymerization is a urethane-foam sponge, which is similar to the sponge specially applied for the vacuum treatment of wounds. A further method of treatment did not differ from that in the conventional treatment of wounds using negative pressure. The method was used as a stage for the preparation of a plastic closure of wounds. In all cases, the treatment of wounds marked positive, is to accelerate the change of wound healing phases.
